DISCUSS IT NOW

It's hard. I wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm uncontrollable when it comes to reckless pokemon handling.

[PhOT]

not everyone can be pro at pokemans

This has inspired me to dl the pokemon rom(leaf green) and now I will play it obsessively

I need to get SoulSilver.

[PhOT]

Just want to let everyone know that i haven't been playing recently for the past week i've been babysitting a sick child for the last 4 days and i do all of my playing during the morning. I've also had my WoW account hacked from gold farmers I've pissed off on my server. This next update might take a while longer. Sorry for all 2 of you who were hoping for this weeks.

I have it and I love it. Gold and Silver were def. my favorite

@PhOT: Its cool, buddy, we all have other things to do.

@Zilla: I never played anything past Red until recently when I picked up Pearl. I still need to finish that.

Regarding the following rule:

"-If your pokemon is 4 levels higher then the pokemon you are fighting then you are not allowed to attack with that pokemon. (Wild pokemon only. Legendary pokemon acts like a trainer fight.)"

I assume this means '4 or more' levels, and I assume that this rule is the rule that really makes it 'hard mode' instead of 'arbitrary grinding conditions mode'. It appears that this rule has been neglected in the run the site is featuring.

In episode 2, the last two screenshots suggest that level 15 pidgey hit level 10 wild ekans. In episode 4, if the kakuna in the last screenshot is wild (too lazy to check), level 14 oddish is attacking level 8 kakuna. I also feel like your pokemon are more highly leveled than this stipulation would allow.

I find 'hard mode' to be an interesting concept, I would just like the hard mode stipulations to be clarified in order to define what the achievement actually signifies.

Kirkq, first off, we appreciate your interest in the Hard Mode series. Secondly, yes, there re some issues with being strict with the rules, something the Phot and I chose to be somewhat loose with in order to tell a better story. Some of it is embellishing so the story is more interesting, like the Pikachu bit, some of it is to try and keep the story going, so it doesn't bottom out too quickly, like a one level difference in the attack radius. It's all to make it more fun and enjoyable of an experience for the read. And again, we appreciate your feedback.

I think what this article is referring to is a nuzzlocke run of pokemon.
